Im Glad They Sorted This They Must Have Been Paying Millions For Those Vscode Liscences

Ah, the sacred corporate hierarchy in action. VP of Sales mutters something about a feature, and suddenly the entire dev roadmap gets thrown out the window. Never mind the months of planning, user research, or that critical security patch—some executive who just returned from a golf outing with a prospect has spoken. The PM's face says it all: dead inside but still professionally nodding. This is why we drink.

Ah yes, the Y10K problem - the sequel nobody asked for! Future devs will be sobbing in their space pods because some genius in 2023 thought "four digits ought to be enough for anybody." Imagine having to refactor billions of lines of legacy code across the galaxy because nobody considered humans might still be writing terrible code 8,000 years from now. The exhausted expression says it all - "I could've been a space poet, but instead I'm patching date formats on Martian ATMs." History repeats itself, just with more digits.

Top panel: Blissful ignorance. You commit your code thinking you've solved everything. Middle panel: Reality check begins. QA finds those edge cases you conveniently forgot existed. Bottom panel: Full existential dread. DevOps messages you at 2AM about the production server that's now somehow mining cryptocurrency in Paraguay. The three stages of deployment grief. No developer has ever experienced the mythical fourth panel: "Everything worked perfectly."

Ah yes, the superhero we didn't know we needed—Spider-Man dropping truth bombs at tech conferences. While product managers obsess over button colors and "intuitive interfaces," developers are battling legacy codebases held together by StackOverflow answers and pure spite. Companies will spend millions on UX research but won't invest in decent documentation or give developers time to refactor code that's one semicolon away from sentience. Remember: behind every seamless user experience is a developer who sacrificed their sanity, sleep, and will to live. Your fancy app exists because someone stared at a terminal until 4 AM wondering if they should just become a goat farmer instead.

The well-dressed manager stands confidently at the front of the boat, sunglasses on, looking important... while the engineering team frantically rows in the back, doing all the actual work. Ten years in the industry and nothing changes—managers taking credit for demos they didn't build, presentations they didn't make, and features they couldn't code. Meanwhile, we're drowning in technical debt and midnight deployments. But hey, at least someone's there to tell us we're "not meeting expectations" during performance reviews!

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of every software project ever! 😱 Someone mentions "Agile" and everyone nods enthusiastically while secretly implementing the most convoluted waterfall process known to mankind! It's like claiming you're on a diet while inhaling an entire chocolate cake! "We're doing Agile" they say, as they schedule 17 unnecessary meetings, create documentation nobody will read, and wait for sign-off from 37 different stakeholders. Honey, adding daily standups to your rigid, micromanaged death march doesn't make it Agile - it just makes it waterfall with EXTRA STEPS! The audacity! The delusion! The project management lies we tell ourselves!
